  While the environment provides a mean for the indigenous communities to survive, the degradation of the environment also threatens the human rights of the indigenous people. They have a connection to nature that colonizers do not since they have traditions and ways of working with the land. Through these they provide and take from nature.

The article highlights the degrading affect of pollution on Guatemala's natural resources. In particular Lake Atitlan which was once considered "the most beautiful lake in the world" has now begun to show signs of contamination and pollution. The article seeks to call attention to the lack of environmentally friendly procedures-but mentions some new conservation laws being implemented.

  This article discusses about the influence of machismo culture on men becoming aggressive and violent in Nicaragua. The machismo culture is not the only factor; tradegies within the country have pushed men to become violent as well. Nicaragua has faced many natural disasters, such as Hurricane Mitch in 1998, and the tensions from the disasters result in more violence. In this case, the violent behaviors can also be seen as a way for men to make sense out of the natural disasters that cause so much pain.

This article, in a way, connects to Escobar's text, as it talks about the negative externalities of shrimp farming in Ecuador, Brazil, and other countries. The argument this article is making, as apparent in the title, is that well-managed fisheries should catch wild shrimp and fish, in stead of cultivating them in the form of aquaculture.
